The apartment.

An open living and dining space that runs the width of the unit, a galley kitchen behind it, and the two bedrooms placed away from the entry. Light comes in through full-height sliders on both the living room and the main bedroom, each opening onto the same balcony.

Storage is the quiet advantage

Five separate closets in 1,100 square feet — two full walk-ins, a linen closet, an interior storage closet off the living room and an outdoor closet on the balcony. Room for linens, supplies and everything guests never see, without giving up bedroom space for it.

A layout that earns its square footage.

Every one of the 1,100 feet is usable. No long corridor eating floor area, no bedroom you have to walk through the living room to reach, and no awkward corner that furniture can't solve.

  • Entry opens into the dining area, not into a bedroom door
  • Living and dining read as one room, the full width of the unit
  • Galley kitchen sits behind a pass-through — open, but not on display
  • Both bedrooms sit away from the entry and the living space
  • Main bedroom has its own balcony access and the double-vanity bath
  • Second bedroom and second full bath work as a self-contained pair
  • Laundry sits off the main bath, out of the guest path

Two full bathrooms and two bedrooms placed apart is the configuration that lets two unrelated parties share the unit comfortably — the difference between a couples listing and a four-guest one.



04

This was not a cosmetic renovation.

Floors levelled and rebuilt, plumbing replaced, kitchen and both bathrooms taken back to nothing and rebuilt with premium materials. The renovation spend alone came close to the original purchase price of the condo.

01

Kitchen

Quartz counters, penny-round backsplash, brass fixtures, island hood, and brand-new stainless appliances — range, refrigerator and dishwasher.

02

Bathrooms

Two full baths, both rebuilt. Zellige tile, hex floors, walk-in glass showers, LED mirrors, brushed-brass fittings and a double vanity in the main.

03

Floors & structure

Levelled and rebuilt subfloor, luxury high-grade laminate throughout, new baseboards — the part of a renovation nobody photographs and everybody feels.

04

Laundry

A premium Samsung washer and dryer pair already installed, tucked off the main bathroom rather than into a bedroom closet.

05

Smart access

Yale Assure Lock 2 for keyless self check-in and a smart thermostat, both installed — two line items you don't have to buy or schedule.

06

Lighting & fixtures

Designer lighting throughout, under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen, and fixtures chosen to photograph well rather than to hit a budget.

The spec sheet.

Named, not described. Every line below is installed and in the unit today — no allowances, no “to be selected”, nothing waiting on a delivery.

We'll say it plainly: we haven't seen another unit in this community finished to this level.

We run the renovated unit a few doors down — so it's a comparison we've actually made. More on that below.
Kitchen

New stainless appliance suite

Range, dishwasher and refrigerator — all new, all stainless, all under warranty.

Surfaces

Quartz countertops

Engineered quartz throughout the kitchen — non-porous, and it survives guests who cook.

Flooring

AC4-rated high-end laminate

AC4 is the commercial-traffic wear rating. Chosen for turnover after turnover, not for the showroom.

Tile

Designer tile in both baths

Zellige walls, hex floors, full-height showers — the surfaces your listing photos live on.

Plumbing

High-end fixtures throughout

Brushed-brass faucets, rain shower heads, hand showers, LED mirrors. No builder-grade anywhere.

Lighting

Designer light fixtures

Sculptural pendants and flush mounts room by room, plus under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen.

Laundry

Samsung washer & dryer

A premium Samsung pair, installed in-unit off the main bath — turnovers don't leave the apartment.

Power

USB outlets for guests

Built-in USB charging at the outlets — a small thing guests notice and mention in reviews.

Access

Yale Assure Lock 2

Keyless entry with Airbnb integration — codes generate per booking and expire on checkout.

Climate

Ecobee smart thermostat

Remote control and scheduling between stays, so an empty unit isn't cooling an empty Houston summer.



07

Multiple demand engines, one address.

A seven-minute walk to NRG Park. Eight minutes to the Texas Medical Center — the largest medical complex in the world. Inside that same short ring: Rice University, the Museum District, the Zoo, downtown and two airports. Different guests, different seasons, one front door.

7-minute walk

NRG Park — the event magnet

Texans home games from September through January, the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo for three weeks every spring, plus concerts, conventions and trade shows the rest of the year. Guests pay a premium for walking distance, and here it's literal rather than optimistic.

8 minutes by car

Texas Medical Center

The largest medical complex in the world — travelling nurses, rotating physicians, patients and the families who come with them, booking 30 nights at a time. The complex you'd be operating in is itself largely occupied by TMC staff: your market already lives here.

9–10 minutes by car

Rice, the Museum District & the Zoo

Campus visits, graduations and conferences at Rice; nineteen museums, the Zoo and Hermann Park a few minutes further. The weekend-leisure half of the calendar, and the reason families pick this side of town over a downtown hotel.

15–30 minutes by car

Downtown and both airports

Downtown Houston in about fifteen minutes, Hobby in twenty and Bush Intercontinental in thirty. Close enough for business travel, far enough that your guests aren't paying downtown parking rates.

The calendar you'd be pricing against.

Not a forecast — a schedule. This is what fills the calendar at NRG Park, seven minutes from the door, month by month. What any of it is worth on a given night is your arithmetic, not ours.

Offered unfurnished, to one operator.

All-in rent
$2,500
per month

One honest number. No hidden charges, no add-on fees, no service or management surcharge, nothing that appears in month four. This is everything you pay for the apartment.

Included in the rent

Everything below is covered by the $2,500 — every month, whatever your guests use.

Electricity

Uncapped, whatever your guests run — the AC through a Houston August is not your line item.

Water

Also uncapped. Long showers, laundry between every turnover, nobody counting gallons.

High-speed internet

500 Mbps already connected — fast enough for the remote workers who book 30 nights.

HOA dues

The association payment stays with the owner. It doesn't move with the lease.

Trash & grounds care

Refuse collection and landscaping handled by the community — not by you, not by your cleaner.

Covered parking

Assigned covered parking inside the gate — a real line in your listing, not a hope.

Two community pools

Gated grounds with two pools — amenity photos you didn't have to build or maintain.

Gated community

Three automatic gates on remote control — guests get in, everyone else doesn't.

The terms, stated

Rent
$2,500 / month, all-in

12 to 24 months — your choice
Deposit
One month, subject to screening
Renewal
First right to renew
Use
Sublease and short-term rental permitted in writing; list under your own entity
Available
August 31, 2026

On term length. You're the one buying the furniture, building the listing and earning the reviews. A twelve-month lease means you spend the first quarter furnishing and the last quarter wondering whether you're renewing. Ask for 24 and you'll get it. Ask for longer and we'll talk.

We're also open to a revenue-share arrangement instead of a straight lease if that suits how you operate — tell us when we meet.

Application in by August 28

Your first month is half rent while you furnish.

Furnishing a two-bedroom takes three to six weeks and somewhere north of fifteen thousand dollars before a single night is booked. We're not going to pretend that isn't real.

Get your application to us on or before Friday, August 28, and your first month is half rent — $1,250 — while you furnish.

  • The application is the qualifier, not the visit. Hand it to us at the showing, or send it over if you're viewing remotely — either counts.
  • Applications after the 28th are welcome, at full first month.
  • One unit, one operator. We're not running this twice.

Already done

In place today, at the owner's cost.

  • Full reconstruction — floors, plumbing, kitchen, both baths
  • New stainless appliances and a Samsung washer/dryer pair
  • Quartz counters, designer tile, lighting and fixtures
  • Yale Assure Lock 2 and a smart thermostat
  • Five closets, including one planned as the owner's closet
  • Covered parking inside a gated community

Yours to bring

That's the whole list.

  • Furniture
  • Kitchenware and decor

We don't publish projections — you should underwrite this yourself. What we hand over is the raw material: measured floor plan, full photo set, finish and appliance list, the community's rules on short-term use, the Houston registration one-pager and the draft lease.

Operator questions.

The nine questions operators ask first. Tap any one to open the answer.

9 questions · tap to expand
Can I really run this on Airbnb? What do the governing documents say?

Yes. The governing documents carry no minimum-stay requirement and no prohibition on short-term or vacation use, and your lease will permit sublease and short-term rental in writing. You get the documents with the packet and we'll have them with us at the showing — don't take our word for it, read them.

Who gets the city STR permit — you or me?

You do. Houston's ordinance has required a Certificate of Registration since January 1, 2026 for any unit rented for fewer than 30 consecutive days. The application needs the owner's information and a signed owner authorization form, so you can't file it without us — that authorization is signed at lease execution. The permit issues in your name and stays yours.

Can I renew when the term is up?

You get first right to renew, written into the lease. You're the one buying the furniture and earning the reviews; handing your address to someone else afterwards would be a poor way to run a business.

Can I list under my LLC?

Yes. The lease permits you to list and operate under your own entity. Personal guarantee terms are part of the screening conversation, not a surprise afterwards.

What's the deposit, and what does screening involve?

One month, subject to screening. Screening means the usual: entity and identity, proof you've operated short-term rentals before, and a reference from a landlord or platform. It is not a credit interrogation.

What happens if you sell the unit?

Your lease transfers with the property. A sale doesn't end your term, and it doesn't hand a new owner the power to remove you mid-lease.

How much should I budget to furnish it?

That's your number, not ours. What we can tell you is that the appliances, the laundry pair, the smart lock and the thermostat are already in — so it's furniture and kitchenware, not a build-out.

How do guests get through the gate?

Three gates, all remote-only — there's no keypad and no code to leak onto a review page. Remotes convey with the unit. [[how many remotes]]

When can I start furnishing — does rent start before or after?

Rent starts at lease commencement and you have the keys from that day, so furnishing happens on your schedule, not after a handover date. That's exactly what the half-rent first month is for: it covers the weeks the unit earns nothing while you fill it.

Question that isn't here? Ask it at the showing, or get the packet and read the documents first.
